Self-made sunshine
I am sure
you happened to feel like you need some sunshine. Especially now during the
darkest time of the year. I often miss this sun warmth. Today I thought “if I
cannot enjoy the sunshine shower, I must make it myself!”
I decided
to do what I usually never do – to make some figures with modeling clay…Well, I
felt something I didn’t feel for a long time – this kind of joy one can
experience as a child only….I was deep in thoughts, feeling excited and…so
carefree! I “deformed” all my problems with these colourful pieces of clay.
Here you can admire my first masterpieces (Haha):
I know all
my clay figures look as if they were made by a two-year old kiddo…What really matters
is I was so happy to make something using my fingers! I need more practice and
creative ideas but even now I am really grateful for my great instruments – my "ten" team. My fingers are really stiff and inflexible due to my rare condition I was
born with. But miraculously they can do 99,9 percent of things! I believe if it
were not for my terrible diagnosis of chronic laziness, I’d boast of something more
amazing than this childish stuff…:)
I am happy
to “dance” with my fingers around the keyboard now. I hope you’re glad to join
my “dance”. ;)
Love ya!
Hello Daria. It is great idea to create sunshine by yourself. You are enough creative artist as well as writer. I love your clays which I can see your finger prints in each works. Very lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI also like your cute fingers, I want to hold your hands!!
Aww...thank you so much for such a sunny comment, Asako! :) You're very kind to my "clay figures", but you're right, they all have a piece of me, my fingerprints...:P
DeleteIf we meet one day in person, you'll definitely hold my hands! ;)
Hi Daria
ReplyDeleteThat’s great you can do those childish clay figures, as you say. But the most important thing is that you have enjoyed a lot doing them with your own hands, and even more challenging for you knowing the lack of movement with your fingers.;) By the way, I have never seen coloured clay; at fist I thought they were made up of plasticine or may be it is the same thing and it is me the one who is confused.
Best wishes

Sergio, we have various colorful clays in Japan, and kids really enjoy it. For the infants, clay can be eatable for safe, it is made from flour!
DeleteHi Sergio,
DeleteThis modelling clay is nothing else but plasticine. :D It's called the same. :)
By the way, thanks to God I have no real movement lack in my fingers. My only problem is I cannot bend my fingers like you. I can never make a fist, so you will happily avoid my big punch. :D
Thank you for your nice comment! I hope I'll be able to make something nicer soon.
Love,
Daria
